sounds pretty good
only other probs are while u are at the junk yard grab the manifold along with teh heads, its a great intake manifold. The stock one even ported dont flow real well. The cam choice u are goin wit tfs stage 1 is what i would do, unless ur goin custom. And as long as u are stayin n/a the hypertec or however u spell it will do fine, but if u want nos or super/procharger go forged

but the rest is good i think

good luck and let us kno how u do

i dont kno what the thumper combo is
maybe if u like it better i would but dont strictly rely on what u hear, but i like the tfs stage 1 cam i have heard nothing but good about it. Get some gt40's ported and a nice intake with that overbore and what ever else u are getttin u shoud see 300 rwhp which will put u low 13's maybe high 12's wit susp and drag radials

well i think im gunna get the thumper package unless i can find gt40s, i think ill wait until the motor is almost done scince thumper only has a 30 day time period to return for ur core charge, and i think on the thumper site it says that he recomends the e303 for the aode cars

i wouldn't waste my money to port a stock intake. buy an aftermarket. nothing from ford racing look at edelbrock or trick flow. thumper heads aren't that bad especially since ur not going all out and just pretty much rebuilding ur motor with a few add ons. and i would go with the tfs stage 1 cam out of the choices its definately the better cam
